Rituxan, Dose 2

Today was Rituxan #2 and my reaction this time was better than last week. It's hard to believe that I have made it through my first week of treatment.. it's seemed like a month or more.

This morning, I started having a new host of side effects. The best way to describe it is that my senses seemed hightened. My pupils are very small and most light seems very bright. My hearing is also not right. I told the nurses this morning and my doctor responded back that this is just my body's reaction to all these drugs that are being pumped into my system.

The good thing is that I haven't felt ill yet today. But I don't know which is worse, feeling ill.. or just feeling so weird that you can't feel normal. I guess it's a toss up.
